Hehe--I like this ;)
It doesn't sound like the crime at GBK was nearly as bad as it could have been!
Also, Nando's as banana fro yo?! What?!

Emily said...

Oh yes. It always has fro-yo. Different flavours every day. Banana is top banana, but vanilla is also good. Plus it's bottomless, so you can eat as much as you like!

Thanks HH. Enjoyed your curry post too. Made me crave a curry, just about the only thing I haven't had in the last six days!

Six meals out in six days? Not bad going.

I managed three consecutive meals out the other week, but now I feel like an amateur.
